(World Wide Journals, 2019-09) Singh, Vineet Kumar; Dua, Dinesh Chandra; Dua, Pratham; Anwar, Zeeshan; Srivastava, Chhitij
The aim of the present study is to identify the incidence of Dissociative Stupor and Possessions in psychiatry OPD population. 8.92% of patients in last 10 years were in the screening group. There were 10.03% of the subjects in 2007 sliding through to 7.76% in 2016, a visible decline. Males are affected earlier (mean age 18.59 years) than females (mean age 23.4 years). The study also proved that females far outnumber males in this category of illness but in the ages between 6 to 12 years, this relationship is reversed.
Aatmanirbhar Bharat And GDP With Industrial Growth Rate And Unemployment Rate Since 2019
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-10) Abita
Before independence, India was a self reliant country. The British not only made a political slave but also an economic slave to India. That is why their rule over India lasted for a long time almost 200 years i.e. India was theirs for a long time slave. To establish their rule, the British first of all destroyed the handicraft industry of India because India was self reliant only because of its handicraft industry. And they started manufacturing goods using machines in England and selling them in India. Through this policy England made India an exporter of raw material and an importer of finished goods. That is, it made India a supplier of raw material and a consumer of finished goods. India's demand which was for handicraft industry of India was transformed into demand for England's industries. Goods made by machines in England were cheaper and reached the market quickly while goods made by India's handicraft industries were expensive and took more time. Mahatma Gandhi started the Swadeshi movement. People were appealed to buy goods made by Indian industries. Mahatma Gandhi tried to explain through this movement that we first have to get freedom from economics level until we became financially independent, we cannot be free .So use thing made by India only. Not use things made in British factory. After independence five year plans were initiated and the objective of self reliance was set to take India to a new path of economic development. India has not yet succeeded in achieving this objective set in the five year plans. Even today, raw materials and traditional goods have a greater place in our exports, while machines and finished goods have a greater place in the imported goods. Now after covid -19 ,a new campaign has been started by prime minister Narendra Modi to make India a self reliant country " Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan(Self Reliant India Campaign )on 12 may 2020.� This paper reviewed on GDP with industrial growth rate and unemployment rate since 2019 and discussed challenge for achieving the goal Atmanirbhar Bharat & future prespective.
Abhyanga, Nasya And Rasa Aushadhis : A Silver Lining In The Management Of Ardita (Facial Paralysis): A Case Report
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-04) Dash, Rashmisnata; Satapathy, Aditya Prasad; Kumar, Santosh; Kumar, Sujeet
Ayurveda is the ancient system of medicine and the holistic blueprint for maintaining good health, contentment, peace, and tranquility. In present scenario the prevalence of Vatavyadhi (neurological disorder) such as Pakshaghata (hemiplegia), gridhrasi (sciatica), Ardita (facial palsy) has been increased due to stressfull lifestyle. There are 80 types of vataja nanatmaja vata vyadhi in ayurveda, Ardita is considered as one of them. Ardita is characterized by Mukhardha bakrata in which there is deviation or crookedness leading to deformity of one side of the face. Based on clinical symptomatology Ardita can be correlated with Bell's palsy. It is the neurological condition that causes sudden onset of weakness of muscle to oneside of the face which includes facial nerve (7th cranial nerve). The present case deals with 64yr old man diagnosed with Ardita which is already admitted in our IPD after complaint of knee joint pain. During the treatment, presenting symptoms included with complaints of deviation of mouth, improper closure of eye, speech impairment and dribbling of saliva on oneside. According to sign and symptoms he was diagnosed with Ardita and treated with sthanika snehana (massage therapy), sthanika swedana (localised steam), and nasya karma and murdhni taila along with oral Ayurvedic samana ousadhis effectively alleviated the Ardita symptoms. A signi?cant relief from all the symptoms was observed within a two week period, demonstrating the ef?cacy of the Ayurvedic approach in managing neurological conditions.

ACADEMIC PROCRASTINATION AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR CONSIDERATION
(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2023-07) Hooda, Dr. Madhuri; Ladwal, Kavita
In our daily lives, we have to perform multiple tasks in different areas. This leads people to two paths: carrying out the task as soon as possible or postponing it; the latter being part of the tendency to delay the start or completion of a task. This act also known as procrastination. procrastination is the characteristic or behavioural propensity to put off or delay completing a task or making decisions. Procrastination behavior is very common and a serious problem in the era we live in. Academic procrastination appears to be common in academic environments as students frequently put off their obligations without good reason and submit their work right up until the deadline. All levels of kids are impacted, and it may lead to major problems including declining grades and decreased wellbeing. The notion of academic procrastination, reasons why it occurs, negative effects of academic procrastination and several methods for dealing with it are all discussed in this article. It is suggested that some programs should be devised and executed to teach task-oriented coping strategies to students. For this one should reflect on the reasons why you procrastinate, your habits and thoughts that lead to procrastinating

(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-02) Patel, Karan; Shah, Aashka; Gandhi, Aashna; Shingala, Tunisha; Keecheril, Raj Philip
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex, multisystem disease characterized by ?brosis and excessive collagen deposition within the skin and internal organs, chronic in?ammation, autoimmune dysregulation, and microvascular endothelial dysfunction. There are two forms of SSc that are characterized by the extent of skin involvement � Limited SSc and Diffuse SSc. Pulmonary vascular disease, primarily PAH, occurs in 10 to 40 percent of patients with SSc, more common in patients with longstanding limited cutaneous disease without associated ILD. It can also happen secondary to ILD, particularly in those with diffuse SSc. Dyspnea with exertion and diminished exercise tolerance are the most common initial symptoms but are commonly absent until the disease is fairly advanced. PAH is fairly progressive, and if severe, can lead to cor pulmonale and right sided heart failure. A 65 year old female patient presented with breathlessness and bilateral lower limb swelling since 6 months which progressed in the last 10 days to dyspnea at rest and bilateral pedal edema upto knees. She is a known case of Hypothyroidism on treatment. On examination bilateral infrascapular ?ne crepitations were present with loud P2 and early diastolic murmur at pulmonary area along with visible jugular venous pulsations and bilateral pedal edema. No signi?cant cutaneous features could be identi?ed. On further investigations she was diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (RVSP -70 mm Hg) and Cor Pulmonale (RA and RV dilated; IVC dilated non collapsible). ANA By IF came strongly positive with centromere pattern (+3) leading to the diagnosis of Limited Systemic Sclerosis which was con?rmed by CENP B antibody being strongly positive on the ANA pro?le. Treatment was initiated with Sildena?l and diuretic therapy with patient being discharged on LTOT. The patient showed dramatic clinical improvement in follow up.
ACUTE ENCEPHALITIS SYNDROME IN A TERTIARY CARE SETTING WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS: AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY IN ASSAM, INDIA
(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2022-06) Das, Prof. Dr Bishnu Ram; Kakoti, Dr. Gitali; Biswanath, Prof. Dr Pranabjit; Bora, Dr. Sampurna
Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) is a major public health problem and Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is one of the most important causes of AES. Therefore, it is crucial to know the etiology of AES for patient management and decision making. The present study aimed to assess the morbidity and mortality profile of AES/JE patients admitted in tertiary care setting. An observational prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 140 hospitalized AES patients admitted in Pediatric and Medicine ward of Jorhat Medical College and Hospital (JMCH), Jorhat over a period from August, 2017 to July 2018. Blood serum and cerebrospinal fiuids (CSF) were tested for presence of JE specific IgM antibody by Mac ELISA during acute illness of AES. The data were compiled and analyzed using the IBM SPSS, V23.0. Of the total 140 AES cases, majority (60%) were below 15 years age (p-value 0.180). Significantly higher proportion of AES cases were from rural areas (94.3%) (p-value <0.0001). The male and female ratio was 1.3:1. The most common presenting symptoms in AES patients were fever (100%), change in mental status (100%), seizure (56.4%) and headache (42.9%). Signs of meningeal irritation were present in 69.3% of cases. Around 22.9% AES patients had GCS ? 8. A total 49 (35%) cases were found to be laboratory confirmed JE following detection of JE specific IgM antibody. Among the JE patients, only 4.1% were immunized with SA 14-14-2 vaccine and 14% died before discharge. The complete recoveries were observed in 78% of cases. JE is one of the major causes of AES which is highly prevalent in this part of India. The significant findings in the present study calls for policy decision to combat JE.
Addressing Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: The Role Of Oral Medications
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-01) Duggal, Ranjana; Ghani, Ufaira; Sharma, Vanita
A signi?cant proportion of postmenopausal women in India go through osteoporosis. Clinical evaluations and dual- energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans are frequently used to screen for this condition. When individuals are identi?ed as having an increased risk of fractures based on screening results, oral treatments are commonly suggested. After an osteoporosis diagnosis, oral bisphosphonates such as alendronate, ibandronate, and risedronate are typically employed as the main methods to prevent fractures.Selectiveestrogen receptor modulators, estrogen-containing medications, and other substances like tibolone that mimic the actions of estrogen are all examples of hormonal therapy. Following a diagnosis, lifestyle changes including supplementation and exercise are utilized as a supplemental form of treatment. These changes may help prevent osteoporosis. These treatments' main drawbacks are their side effects. Treatment plans should be customized depending on the substantial risk factors that patients have shown,the side effects, and the clinical outcome of the treatment. Hormone replacement therapies pose the most serious risk factors for choosing a medication since they increase the risk of venous thrombosis, coronary artery disease, breast cancer, and uterine cancer. The most frequent side effect of bisphosphonates is gastrointestinal pain, which can be lessened with careful dosage. These drugs have shown to be effective in preventing vertebral and non- vertebral fractures in post-menopausal women, while having side effects. Clinical judgment should be used to choose the best course of therapy based on the goals and experiences of the patient after weighing the risk of fracture against the risk of adverse events related to each of the regimens.

(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2022-09) Jangid, Dr. Kirti; Khandare, Dr. Manish; Ray, Dr. Rahul
Although acne is principally a disorder of adolescence, the prevalence of adult acne is increasing. Adult acne has been defined as the presence of acne beyond the age of 25 years. Acne in adult women may have different clinical features i.e., more involvement of lower face, association with hair loss, premenstrual flare, signs and symptoms of insulin resistance, dyslipidaemias. Various studies have shown that a significant percentage of adult women with acne failed to respond to treatment with systemic antibiotics and isotretinoin which indicates a need for treatment alternatives with improved effectiveness and acceptable side effects for resistant acne. This study aims to study the different clinicoepidemiological features of adult acne.

(World Wide Journals, 2019-11) Singh, Mamta; Sinha, Bibhuti Prassan
PURPOSE: The purpose of this survey was to establish the prevalence of AC and to know the practice pattern of managing ocular allergy in north India. METHODS: A descriptive cross sectional study done in the states of north India, involving registered practicing ophthalmologists (RP). The survey was conducted in the month of May 2019. 14 fourteen survey questionnaire prepared on significant clinical situations related to ocular allergy was sent via goggle form to 300 Ophthalmologists of north India. The response was recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: The survey was participated by 232 RP (77.33%) out of 300 whom the questionnaire was sent. The results analysis involved epidemiological, treatment and complication pattern. CONCLUSION:AC patients form a significant proportion of our clinical patients specially in summer season. The chronic nature of this disease specially VKC needs a judicious use of different pharmacological agents considering their adverse effects. Newer molecules like Alcaftadine, Bepotastine and various Immunomodulators need further study by randomized clinical trials for their relative efficacy as survey are not sufficient to give us a clear indication towards rationalized use.
Ambulatory Bp Monitoring In A Cohort Of Young Medical Personnel With Newly Diagnosed Stage I Hypertension
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-12) Pokar, Faisal Ahmed; Karnik, Niteen D; Bhavsar, Prerana
This study investigates the use of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) in a cohort of young medical personnel newly diagnosed with stage I hypertension. The research, conducted at a tertiary care center, aimed to recon?rm hypertension, assess the prevalence of white-coat hypertension, evaluate BP dipping patterns, and identify potential target organ damage in this cohort of patients. This cohort of 28 participants predominantly comprised medical residents re?ecting a population with potentially higher stress levels. 46.4% (13/28) were reclassi?ed as white-coat hypertensives (WCH). 69.7% (9/13) of these WCH were found to be non-dippers implying that WCH might not be a completely benign condition and warrants regular BP monitoring. The study also found that out of the 14 individuals with higher BMI, all but one were found to be having a non-dipping pattern. The ?ndings emphasize the need for ABPM monitoring in young medical personnel with isolated high of?ce blood pressure readings.
ANAESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF A PATIENT WITH HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA FOR TOTAL ABDOMINAL HYSTERECTOMY
(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2023-07) Davies, Dr Anju; K, Dr Rekha; S, Dr Syamkumar; K R, Dr Radha
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a disorder caused by a disruption of any of the enzymes or cofactors involved in the pathways of homocysteine metabolism. The resultant high plasma levels of homocysteine increase the risk for thromboembolic events. These patients are frequently anticoagulated in the perioperative setup. Interruption of anticoagulant therapy may subject the patient to an increased risk of thrombosis, infarction, and death. Neuraxial anaesthesia techniques may be relatively contraindicated in anticoagulated patients and nitrous oxide may exacerbate the condition by inhibiting the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. We describe a case of the anaesthetic management of a unique case of hyperhomocysteinemia with multiple recent thrombotic episodes proposed for total abdominal hysterectomy conducted under general anaesthesia, the intraoperative and postoperative monitoring and considerations.
Anaesthetic Management Of A Patient With Rheumatic Valvular Heart Disease Posted For Fixation Of Acetabulum Fracture
(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-04) Patil, Surhud Vijaysingh; Kelkar, Vasanti Sasturkar
Patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) undergoing non-cardiac surgeries present a challenge for anesthesiologists. This case report discusses the anesthetic management of a 56-year-old female with severe mitral stenosis, posted for acetabulum fracture ?xation. The patient's history revealed RHD with severe mitral stenosis, mild mitral regurgitation, and severe pulmonary hypertension. Considering the risks associated with neuraxial anesthesia in mitral stenosis, general anesthesia (GA) with a Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block was chosen. The patient was carefully premedicated, induced with appropriate drugs, and monitored intraoperatively. The PENG block, performed under ultrasound guidance, aimed to reduce hip pain without causing motor blockade. The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the surgery, and postoperatively, the combination of GA with PENG block provided effective pain control, reducing the need for opioids. This approach contributed to an early recovery, emphasizing the importance of tailored anesthesia strategies for valvular heart disease patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries.

(Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-12) Ahamed, Ajmal
This research study was aimed at knowing and comparing the level of aggression among the players of body contact games and lifting events. The players of body contact games include Hockey, Football, Boxing, and Kho-Kho. The players of the lifting event include Powerlifting and Weightlifting. The athletes selected for the study have participated in various levels of competitions. An aggression questionnaire in which ?ve subscales of aggression including Anger, Physical Aggression, Hostile and Verbal anger was used. The questionnaire has been designed by Buss and Perry (1992). This questionnaire consists of a 5-point scale. Anger, Verbal aggression, Physical aggression and Hostility are the variables of this questionnaire. All athletes had to answer the questions with a 5-point scale to compare the level of aggression. For accomplishing the study SPSS version 27 was used to apply all statistical terms and Independent t-test was applied. This suggests that body contact game are more likely to experience greater aggression related to lifting events. Overall, the study's results underscore notable differences in aggression factors such as physical aggression, anger, hostility and verbal aggression between the players of body contact games and lifting events.
ANALYSIS OF SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING IN THE CONTEXT OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2023-05) Bhattacharya, Arundhati
Conventionally, GDP or GNP is considered as a measure of well-being of a country. In spite of their simplicity and objectivity, voices are raised against these income-based measures on the ground that human well-being is primarily subjective in nature. According to human development approach, the perception of well-being covers different dimensions of well-being, viz., quality of education, healthcare quality, the standard of living and labor market, personal safety, overall satisfaction with freedom of choice and life and perceptions about community and government. This paper presents a brief overview of the concept of well-being in the context of human development approach and analyses the role of well-being indicators in determining the perception of overall human well-being for different countries, regions and at the global level on the basis of HDR 2016 published by UNDP.
